Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Lord Gu, Lord Gu!"

Just as Gu Chen had reached the midsection of the mountain, the Elders of the Beidou Sect rushed over to him, blocking his path.

At this moment, the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect still had a pale face, clearly affected severely by Bi Yu's previous attack. Even as a completed Divine Realm master, he found it difficult to heal completely.

Moreover, even within the Beidou Sect, the medicinal pills that could heal the injuries of the divine consciousness were very scarce.

"May I ask what brings Lord Gu to our Beidou Sect?" The Sect Leader greeted Gu Chen with a cupped fist and asked in a deep voice upon seeing him.

Gu Chen needed only a moment of thought to understand the significance of the Sect Leader and the other Elders stopping him here.

"Our Beidou Sect has closed its gates due to some matters. If Lord Gu does not have urgent business, I would ask you to leave the mountain as soon as possible," said the Sect Leader, indicating that Gu Chen should depart quickly.

But just as Gu Chen was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly rose, causing the expressions of the Sect Leader and the others to change immediately.

"Gu Chen, do you remember me?"

With a whoosh, Bi Xin's young figure emerged, looking coldly at Gu Chen with deep resentment evident in his gaze.

No matter what, he could not accept being defeated and humiliated by a native of the Nine Provinces.

But, to his surprise, Gu Chen shook his head and replied, "I don't remember."

Upon hearing this, Bi Xin's face darkened as he said, "You may not remember me, but I remember you!"

Gu Chen replied indifferently, "There are so many stray cats and dogs in this world, how could I possibly remember every single one?"

"You!"

These words immediately enraged Bi Xin. His eyes widened with hatred, and although he clenched his fists with the intention to strike, knowing he was no match, he dared not make a move, feeling extremely frustrated.

But soon after, Bi Xin sneered, "Gu Chen, don't be so smug in front of me. Your days are numbered; today is the day you die."

As his voice fell, the young figure of Bi Yu appeared instantly on the scene, causing the hearts of the Sect Leader and others from Beidou Sect to sink.

"It's over!" That was the thought in the hearts of every one of them at that moment.

The strength of Bi Yu was well known to the members of Beidou Sect; his presence signified that Gu Chen's fate would be either death or injury.

"Lord Gu, this is a genius from the Upper World's Da Sect..."

The Sect Leader was in a panic; he hurriedly spoke, trying to convey through his eyes to Gu Chen, while simultaneously explaining Bi Yu's background, hoping that Gu Chen would hold his temper and avoid further conflict with them.

"This is not your place to speak!" At this moment, Bi Xin directed his anger towards the Sect Leader, scolding him fiercely.

The Sect Leader's eyes darkened immediately, feeling humiliated.

As a top grandmaster who had reached the Divine Realm in martial arts and the esteemed Sect Leader of Beidou Sect, who had ever dared to rebuke him like this, and from such a young junior, no less?

The Sect Leader, who was over a hundred years old, was clearly indignant. If not for Bi Yu, he would have slapped Bi Xin to death long ago.

"How dare you!" With his brother Bi Yu by his side, Bi Xin was extremely arrogant, his face twisted into a sneer as he looked at the Elders of Beidou Sect.

"How impressive, relying on another's power!" Gu Chen's eyes flashed coldly, a light shining from his brow as he was about to teach Bi Xin a lesson.

But at that moment, someone else struck before he did, and it was none other than Bi Yu.

Hum!

Standing in place, Bi Yu suddenly took a step forward, and instantly, an invisible wave of divine consciousness surged forward.

"Back off!"

Feeling this wave, the Sect Leader's face changed, and he swiftly led the Beidou Sect members to retreat in flight, to avoid being collateral damage.

"Gu Chen, you are doomed. My brother can crush you between his fingers. Let's see how the 'number one prodigy of the Nine Provinces martial world' fares today against a true genius," Bi Xin taunted, seeing Bi Yu finally making a move.

"Enough noise!"

Gu Chen rebuked coldly, light bursting from his brow as he held nothing back. Right from the start, he used the Extreme God Nerve, and his tangible divine consciousness rippled outwards like a vast wave.

"Has his divine consciousness reached perfection, achieving the complete Divine Realm?!" Seeing this, the Sect Leader was shocked.

"What?!"

At these words, the members of the Beidou Sect also showed signs of shock, and not only them, Bi Xin was equally surprised.

Compared to the last time Gu Chen had taught him a lesson, his strength had undergone an earth-shattering change.

"My brother will surely cut him down!" Bi Xin stood in the distance, gritting his teeth, clearly understanding that he needed to keep his distance to avoid being affected.

"Hmm?"

Feeling the force of Gu Chen's strike, Bi Yu's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise. However, that was all there was to it.

"Suppress!"

At that moment, Bi Yu uttered a soft command, and for an instant, it seemed as if the very void had stilled. A powerful divine consciousness turned into a dazzling light sweeping forth, causing the ground beneath everyone's feet to tremble.

To influence matter with the mind—Bi Yu's mastery over divine consciousness was indeed extraordinary. Even among his peers in the Upper World's Red Cloud Sect, there were few who could compare with him.

This was also the reason for Bi Xin's confidence.

At this moment, Gu Chen furrowed his brows. While he circulated the Extreme God Nerve, he also activated the perfected Refining Spirit Secret, managing to withstand Bi Yu's strike without injury.

"Had I encountered him before my divine consciousness had reached perfection, perhaps I would have suffered a fate similar to that of Beidou Sect's Sect Leader," Gu Chen thought to himself.

This demonstrated the strength of Bi Yu and also aroused Gu Chen's curiosity about the so-called Upper Realm.

So young, yet with such formidable strength, where did Bi Yu rank among his peers in the Upper Realm?

What kind of world is the Upper Realm, what heritage does it contain, and just how many people like Bi Yu, or even surpassing Bi Yu, exist there?

In an instant, numerous questions about the Upper Realm emerged in Gu Chen's mind.

"You dare to be lost in thought while fighting me?" Bi Yu saw Gu Chen zoning out and immediately frowned, feeling that Gu Chen was looking down on him.

This sparked a tinge of annoyance in his usually calm heart, and in a flash, the divine consciousness from his brow grew even more intense.

Hissss!

One after another, tangible wisps of divine consciousness attacked, instantly awakening Gu Chen from his reverie.

He knew that without showing his true strength, it would not be easy to defeat Bi Yu.

"So be it, let's end this quickly, as I have other matters to attend to!" In that moment, Gu Chen made up his mind, ready to go all out and instantly deal with Bi Yu.

However, such words were extremely grating to Bi Yu's ears, and even the Beidou Sect's old sect leader and others felt that Gu Chen might be too arrogant. After all, Bi Yu was a prodigy from a great Upper World sect!

"Seeking death!"

Bi Yu's voice grew cold, as he now truly intended to kill Gu Chen, prepared to mercilessly pull this roadside "weed" from the ground with severe measures.

"Native, you've successfully angered me, I will make you die without a burial place!" Bi Yu coldly shouted, channeling his divine consciousness to its peak, aiming to kill Gu Chen in one move.

Boom!

But in the next moment, an astonishing surge of energy skyrocketed, shaking the entire Beidou Sect to its core. A tremor that rocked heaven and earth ensued, as if the situation had drastically changed, causing Bi Yu to immediately change color.

The Great Void Transforms into a Dragon!

A gate of light, accompanied by the scene of a fish leaping over the dragon gate, appeared, and feather-like rays of light rained down. Gu Chen's energy soared step by step, even skyrocketing!

"I don't have time to dawdle here with you. Three moves to subdue you!"

At this moment, Gu Chen's aura was terrifyingly powerful. In everyone's view, his figure seemed to stretch infinitely, high above like a heavenly god, an aura that made everyone tremble on the spot.

Furthermore, to end the battle swiftly, Gu Chen pushed his fully-realized Pure Yang Vajra Body to the ultimate realm. Surging golden light burst forth, engulfing the sky with its radiance. Gu Chen stood enveloped within it, appearing incredibly mighty.

"Hm?!"

At this moment, even Bi Yu, hailing from the Upper Realm, was shocked, his complexion instantly changing. The powerful divine consciousness allowed him to sense a tremendous crisis. In front of him, Gu Chen seemed to have truly transformed into a deity who could decide his fate in a single thought.

Boom!

A thunderous roar reverberated throughout the mountain gate of the Beidou Sect, with Gu Chen's gaze cold and merciless, his hair disheveled, and the world thundering around him. At that moment, he clenched his fist into a seal, like the birth of a king, irresistible!

"Puh!"

With a single move, Bi Yu could not even respond. He barely managed to defend himself and was directly sent flying by Gu Chen's punch, as sounds of cracking bones resonated throughout his body.

"Brother!"

Seeing this, Bi Xin immediately became furious, screaming in disbelief at the spectacle before his eyes.

"This…"

The old sect leader of the Beidou Sect and the others were also stunned. They had not expected Gu Chen to possess such strength. As a martial artist from Kyushu, he managed not only to defeat but to completely overpower a prodigy of the Upper Realm!

"No—"

At that moment, Gu Chen's indifferent gaze turned toward Bi Xin. He spread his five fingers wide, and Tri-Yang true energy surged. Suddenly, fierce flames rose around Bi Xin's body. The intense heat caused him to wail continuously, but regardless of the skills he used, he could not extinguish the flames engulfing him.

Before long, he would be burned alive into a pile of ashes.

Heavenly Grade Cultivation Skills, even in the Heavenly Realm, are not something everyone can comprehend.

Amongst the crowd, Lu Xing was also present, looking at Gu Chen with a shocked expression. Only now did he realize that the Azure Dragon was still an Azure Dragon, as untouchable as ever.

"So, this is the true strength of Marquis Wu'an?" the old sect leader of the Beidou Sect sighed lightly.

Only now did the people of the Beidou Sect understand just how extraordinary the power and talent of Gu Chen, the Protector of Da Xia, really were.

Even prodigies of the Upper Realm were nothing before him!

At this moment, Gu Chen took steps that left behind faint marks alight with golden flames in the void.

"Upper Realm prodigy? I've said it before, no matter who dares to provoke me, they will all be subdued, regardless of their high status!"

Gu Chen knew that his recent attack had not completely killed Bi Yu. His opponent was indeed extraordinary and had somehow clung to a breath of life.

Using that breath, Bi Yu consumed some kind of spiritual pill, and his injuries began to heal at an astonishingly fast rate, his energy quickly restoring itself.

"Kill!"

At this moment, a roaring Bi Yu in the distant sky, with disheveled hair and a bloodied face, flipped his palm, and a long spear appeared, its tip wrapped with a red tassel, shimmering with flowing light, exuding a powerfully vigorous aura!

"Hm? What is this?"

Feeling the strong energy emanating from the spear, even Gu Chen, who had pushed his strength to its apex, couldn't help but furrow his brows, sensing a huge threat.

Gu Chen had a premonition that in front of that red-tasseled long spear, his body, which he took great pride in, could be pierced through in an instant!

"How is this possible?!"

Gu Chen was astonished; after all, his body was comparable to divine weapons of the highest quality, and he had employed the Great Void Transforms into Dragon Technique, pushing the fully-realized Pure Yang Vajra Body to its limit.

Yet even so, Gu Chen still felt he absolutely could not clash directly with the spear before him!

If they collided, he would undoubtedly die!

"Is this... a peerless divine weapon?!"
